Play the cardgame, don't watch the sad show and most importantly...
I slowly, rather reluctantly, drifted back to the world of consciousness. My tired eyes swiveled back and forth over the cobblestone streets and looming buildings surrounding me. I was in some kinda ... alleyway. Type thing. Gee, so reassuring.
Just where I am...? Maybe the SEEDY part of my town. Heh, I've always wanted to say that. You know it's a funny word. Seedy.
Ahem.
Smiling a bit to myself with this random, yet strangely hilarious, thought, I carefully climbed to my feet, realizing the clothing from my 'dream' was my current attire. I rubbed the back of my head in confusion, frowning. Since that had been a ... VERY ELABORATE dream, maybe this was all a dream, too.... I mean, sure I had felt pain, but ... maybe my brain just ... wasn't working right.
Wait, that's everyday. Haha, I kill myself.
Seriously, though---
Oh, dear....
I can't be awake. I just CAN'T. NOT AFTER SEEING--- ... THAT!
I was staring wide-eyed at the enormous clocktower before me, the sky behind it lit up with brilliant oranges, reds, and yellows. Twilight. I slowly reached up, and flicked myself on the forehead with my left pointer finger repeatedly, wincing each time.
I'm not awake.... I can't be.... I CAN'T BE IN TWILIGHT TOWN, MOD FLAMMIT!
I knew my oatmeal tasted funny this morning.
"This can't be right ... or real!" I tried to convince both myself and the surrounding buildings. And frankly, I was failing.
"...I'm not supposed to be here...."
Chocolate eyes whipped back and forth, fear, confusion, and shock clouding their dark depths. Gulping, I dared to step out of the alleyway, still as cautious as ever. A tram suddenly whizzed past me, and I yelped in surprise, jumping back into the alley. I glared at the retreating train-like vehicle, scrambling out of the alley.
"Yeah, you better run!" I shouted after it, then spun on my heel with a triumphant grin.
The expression fell at the sight of another tram, coming straight towards me.
Delayed reaction on my part.
Darkness ... darkness ... lots of darkness.... And a migraine.
After a while, voices began fading in and out of my hearing.
"...could you..."
"...DIDN'T MEAN..."
"...blind idiot..."
"...she's coming..."
"Are you ok?" Asked an unfamilar voice, but, at the same time, I had heard it ... somewhere before....
I merely groaned lightly in response before allowing my eyes to open themselves, only to squint in the bright sunlight. Once they adjusted to the shimmering rays, I could make out two figures off to the side, kneeling down near me. Propping myself up on my elbows, I let my chocolate eyes scan over the two teenage boys before tilting my head and arching a single eyebrow. The oldest one looked to be about fifteen, with cinnamon brown hair spiked up in all directions. Where I expected to see bright, cerulean orbs, there was strawberry-red in its place, and I tilted my head to the side in confusion.
"Yer not Sora, " I mumbled thoughtfully, glad the other brunette hadn't caught what I said.
"Yeah, he is, sadly," deadpanned the other teen, crossing his arms over his chest. Spiky blonde hair, - but Sora's level of anti-gravity surpassing it - and sapphire eyes regarded me quizzically.
'Sora' pouted at the blonde boy, before turning back to me with a guilty expression, "Uh ... sorry...."
"Fer what?" I asked immediately, brows furrowing and carefully climbing to my feet. Shots of white-hot pain zoomed through my veins, and I winced, falling back down to one knee. The blonde boy caught my arm before I hit the cobblestone, and I threw him a thankful look.
"He just rammed into you with a train, no big deal," He informed me sarcastically.
"Oh...." I murmured, throwing Sora a somewhat frightened look, and then my mind clicked with rememberance. I realized I should tell them my name ... but.... Hah. Never. I'm usually not one to introduce myself to the world. You shoulda seen me at my first softball meeting.
Flashback!
"Did we miss anyone?" My new Manager asked of my other teammates. Everyone was telling everyone else their name and favorite position. So fun. I stayed silent in my lone corner, sniffling every few seconds and waiting for my Hawaiian pizza to grace my table. I had been sick at the time and really didn't feel like talking right---
"Meg!" My coach Gary exclaimed, grinning at the sight of me.
Flam. I've been spotted. And you're lucky you're my coach, or I'd kill you for calling me ... 'Meg'. MAH NAME IS MEGAN. M-E-G-A-N.
Hm.... Too much KH2 for me.... I'm starting to quote Asshole.
I mean, Hedgehog.
I mean ... Axel.
...Got it memorized?
"Why so quiet?" One of my new teammates asked curiously.
"I was trying to hide, " I admitted lowly in a scratchy, sick voice, gaining mild laughter from the others around me.
End random flashback!
I shook my head, just catching the end of Sora's introduction, "...and I'm really sorry about hitting you!"
"Uh, no problem," I managed to say in a tone above a whisper.
Good job, Megan! Give yourself a pat on the back!
"Where're Donald and Goofy?" I asked, genuinely confused. It was weird seeing Sora without them.
"Who?"
Slow blink. "...Nevermind...." Guess they didn't exist in this universe.... Maybe NOTHING Disney-related is here. There's a thought....
On impulse, I suddenly glanced at the blonde boy, whose familiarity was wracking painfully at my memories. I just KNEW I had seen him somewhere before. I think I would be able remember eyes like that. When he didn't offer his name, I bit my lip before finally gathering up what minuscule courage I held and prodding lightly.
"What about you? What's your name...?"
Because I refuse to call you Roxas. I swear, I'll call you BHK if I have to. Just not---
"Kaze." Huzzah! Praise Cloud! I LOVE this universe!
"Uhm ... what happened?" I asked, expression blank.
Sora's brow creased, now also confused, "Wha' do you mean?"
"To ... my home...." That ... dark thing ... condemned Earth. I--- I ... I don't want to believe that---
"It's gone, " Kaze answered me, his cerulean seas actually lulling with sorrow.
